diesel cycle

Although Woolson designed the ingenious weight-saving features, Dorner was responsible for the engine’s diesel cycle which employed the “solid” type of fuel injection.

A partial solution of this difficulty is the two-cycle operation, which seems almost a requirement if the Diesel cycle is to be considered at all for aircraft.

Now that blau gas has been introduced, which obviates the need of valving precious lifting gas, the Diesel cycle seems much less interesting for this purpose.

There may be a reduction in fire hazard and radio interference with the Diesel cycle, but it is doubtful whether it will be used in view of these considerations alone.
